Care to introduce yourself to our readers?
My name is Sarah Wickett. Born and raised in Beaverton, Ontario, I grew up with a deep passion for music that began to flourish during my formative years. Like most artists, I drew inspiration from the highs and lows of life, from the joys of love to the heartbreak of loss. But it was the trailblazing efforts of the legendary Shania Twain that truly inspired me to break barriers and pave my own way as a woman in the industry. My musical journey took an unexpected turn when I discovered a deep appreciation for Punjabi culture. Intrigued and inspired, I dove headfirst into the culture and became fully immersed in it. Fuelled by my passion, I went beyond language and music barriers, taking Punjabi speaking, singing, and Bhangra dance lessons, to create a genre-defying musical blend of Desi Pop-Country. My music is a genre-defying fusion that reflects the diverse influences that have shaped me as an artist.
Tell us a bit about your most recent release.
“Lemonade” merges Pop, Country, and Bollywood genres, featuring a unique combination of instruments, such as banjo and tabla, woven together to create a fresh take on country music. The lyrics are just as refreshing as I sing about finding a love that endures in the hottest of times. Just like the perfect drink recipe, a true love that has all the right ingredients and just the right proportions will always be a go-to.
Where do you tend to pull inspiration from when writing?
As a musician, I draw inspiration from my personal experiences and emotions and from the achievements of other artists who inspire me. I am also deeply influenced by Punjabi culture, which has led me to create a unique blend of Desi Pop-Country that reflects my diverse range of influences.
Do you have any upcoming shows you’d like to tell us about?
At the moment, I’m excited to be focusing on my writing, recording, and building up my socials. While I don’t have any shows scheduled in the immediate future, I’m confident I’ll have exciting news to share about upcoming performances when the time is right.
What’s your goal for 2023?
My goal for 2023 is to release a diverse range of Desi Pop-Country songs in collaboration with Punjabi and Bollywood artists. I’m committed to breaking down cultural barriers and paving the way for more South Asian artists to succeed in the industry. With my eyes firmly fixed on the future, I’m excited to share my unique blend of musical influences with fans around the world and continue to build my career.
